Monster: Hey, Girl, You?! / Now We're Truly Law-Abiding Citizens

Yaochuan Guang pondered for a moment, then looked at the ball of light again. "What name do you like, AI? Do you have any recommendations?"

AI: "..."

[AI has no preferences in this regard. According to the database—11% of captains chose the names of deceased people as memorials.]

[25% of captains chose to retain the name of the shipborne AI from their previous vessel, 29% chose arbitrary names with no discernible logic, and 8% chose names based on colors.]

Listening to the shipborne AI list them off, Yaochuan Guang's eyes nearly started spinning. "Then... then let's just call you 'AI.'"

[Name changed to "AI." Please confirm, Captain?]

Cong Yu answered AI lazily. "Confirmed... Commands issued by anyone present from now on don't need my confirmation."

[Understood. Name change complete. Command authority granted.]

"..."

"Huh?!"

Alya pointed at herself in surprise. "Did you forget I'm here too? Does that include me?"

Cong Yu was already too lazy to explain. Having spent all night stargazing with Yaochuan Guang, he was feeling rather sluggish now. "Yeah."

"But..."

Alya wanted to say more, but then she saw Lantian Zhu holding a snack up to her mouth... It looked a little like shrimp crackers.

Lantian Zhu's spot was already buried beneath the giant snack bundles everyone had bought earlier... and there were quite a few prohibited items among them.

If the interstellar cops caught them, they would apparently have to pay a fine... Fortunately, it was only a fine.

"Ah, thanks."

As she spoke, Alya partially removed her mask, lifting it slightly before accepting the snack Lantian Zhu offered and putting it into her mouth.

"..." Xiao Cui stared at the occasional strand of white hair flickering beside Alya's mask. She opened her mouth... but said nothing.
